Who is this option for?

People prioritising 0% fat

You’re looking for a ready-to-eat fruit yoghurt with a sweet taste for breakfast. Checking the fat content per 100 g lets you compare products beyond the claim on the front of the pot.

People keeping an eye on sugars and sweeteners

You want to know what’s in a recipe before choosing. Check the “of which sugars” line and the ingredients list. As France’s Anses health agency points out, “no added sugars” doesn’t mean there are no sugars.

People comparing texture and protein

If these matter at breakfast, compare the protein per 100 g and the type of product. For fruit skyr, check the figures for the flavour you’ve chosen rather than those for the plain version.

What should you look for first?

When choosing a fruit yoghurt for a sweet breakfast, start by checking the fat content per 100 g, then compare the sugars and ingredients. Texture and protein can help you choose between recipes, depending on what you want from your breakfast.

Factor What to check Who is it for?
Fat The amount per 100 g and the exact product description. The 0% products mentioned by Carrefour, Auchan and E.Leclerc contain between 0.1 g and 0.5 g per 100 g, depending on the product. If my main aim is to reduce fat without giving up fruit yoghurt, the figure on the back of the pot helps me decide. Around 40% of consumers prioritise this factor.
Sugars and sweeteners The “of which sugars” line per 100 g and whether the ingredients include sucralose or acesulfame-K. If I want to know what’s in my sweet breakfast, the 0% claim isn’t enough. This is the top priority for around 30% of consumers.
Texture and protein Protein per 100 g, the type of yoghurt and the figures for the flavour you’ve chosen; don’t use those for a plain version. If I’m mainly looking for a thicker texture and comparing protein, I check the specific recipe rather than relying on its 0% claim alone. Around 30% of consumers prioritise these factors.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Assuming 0% fat means no sugars

    The 0% products mentioned by Carrefour, Auchan and E.Leclerc also list a “of which sugars” value; some contain sucralose or acesulfame-K.

    Check the fat, sugar and ingredients information together for the product you’re interested in.

  • Counting fruit yoghurt as a portion of fruit

    Manger Bouger advises that fruit yoghurt doesn’t count as a portion of fruit.

    If you’d also like to have a piece of fruit at breakfast, plan to eat it separately.

  • Assuming the figures for one flavour apply to the whole range

    The ingredients and nutritional values can vary by flavour, pack size and product type. The figures for plain skyr don’t necessarily apply to fruit skyr.

    Check the nutritional information and ingredients on the pot or pack you choose.
